Describe the Web trust model.

The Web trust model is the most popular PKI trust model used today. It is named after the World Wide Web and its dependence on popular Web browsers. As a result, it is also called the browser trust model or simply the Web model. The model itself can be viewed as a variation of the strict hierarchy model where the root trust anchor is the browser itself. A number of CA and intermediate CA certificates are preinstalled in a standard commercial Web browser. The only difference is that the browser in this case does not "sign" any certificate installed within it, but a CA certificate is considered trusted as long as it is installed in the browser. Thus, the binding between the CA subject name and the browser is not enforced by a digital signature but by the presence of the certificate in the browser software itself. Furthermore, the user of the browser can add or delete any certificate installed in the browser.
